MN506 System Management: Server Monitoring Tools Analysis Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of server monitoring tools for system management. It begins by comparing three existing tools used by Global Cure Mart (GCM), evaluating parameters such as IP SLA reports, logical grouping, trend prediction, SNMP, web applications, distributed monitoring, inventory, platform, data storage methods, access control, and IPv6 compatibility. Subsequently, the report contrasts three emerging tools: PRTG Network Monitor, Nagios XI, and Zabbix, focusing on features like dashboard and user interface, configuration, visualization, autodiscovery, protocol support, alerts and notifications, monitoring templates, and community support. The analysis concludes that Zabbix is the preferred tool due to its enhanced design, web-based configuration, extensive monitoring templates, and strong community support, making it the recommended system management solution for GCM.
